Organisational Psychology KHA315

Introduction

This unit introduces
students to the field of organisational and industrial psychology. This is an
applied field that draws on core theories and ideas from psychology and applies
them to organisational and work contexts. The unit will be taught in two modules.
Module 1 - will deal with core topics in organisational psychology such as
theoretical perspectives, motivation and attitudes, organisational culture and
change and stress in the workplace. Module 2 - will have a more applied focus
on areas such as testing, personnel selection (and various processes associated
with selection) and topics in the field of human factors such as human error,
cognitive workload and situation awareness. These topics will be complemented
by activities in practical classes.
